Steel beams are one of the main load-bearing components in steel structures, used to support the loads of buildings or other structures. Crane beams, on the other hand, are specifically designed to bear the loads of cranes or lifting equipment. While there are some structural and functional differences between the two, both are key components of steel structures.
Steel Beams: Generally refer to steel bar-shaped components used for load-bearing in building structures. Common forms include I-beams, H-beams, and box beams. Steel beams support and transmit loads, ensuring the stability of buildings or structures.
Crane Beams: Also known as lifting beams, these are specifically designed to bear the loads from cranes and other lifting equipment. Crane beams are typically equipped with reinforced structures to ensure they can withstand significant concentrated loads during lifting operations, commonly found in factories, warehouses, and other places requiring lifting tasks.
Material Types: Ordinary steel, alloy steel, etc.
Types: I-beam, H-beam, box beam, etc.
Strength Grades: Common steel grades such as Q235, Q345, etc.
Dimensions: The width, height, and thickness of the beams vary according to specific design requirements.
Load Capacity: The load capacity of steel beams and crane beams can vary based on design standards and usage requirements.
Anti-Corrosion Treatment: Galvanizing, painting, fireproof coatings, etc.
